  In the school year of 2003-2004, Connecticut had the highest average teacher salary throughout the states! Great news for those who are already teachers and fully embedded within a system that is on the go. However, for those looking to get their foot in the door, such a bonus in salary can make jobs scarce. Looking for a coveted job with nothing to set you apart from the heaps of other applicants can be a terribly stressful endeavor. But, this is no time to be biting nails, there are solutions that will help you immeasurably with your entrance into becoming a teacher and throughout your career.

  Future Connecticut Teachers: Getting your foot in the door may seem to be the most important objective in your life right now. However, over the life of your career, this is one small step before the mountain that lay before you. Yet, conveniently, there is one step you can take now that will not only help you get your foot in the door, it will cut the top off of that mountain. Earn your Master's degree or PhD from a top, accredited university. Along with your certification, this will set you apart in the eyes of employers. You will learn valuable skills in the classroom, you will understand contemporary teaching theories, assessment strategies, resource management, student-data analysis and much more. As a bonus to your better marketability and your quality as a teacher, you will also be paid an even higher salary!

  Current Connecticut Teachers and Administrators: The Connecticut public education system is currently setting the bar for all other states. Those in administrative positions and veteran teaching jobs have performed well and are going to be needing equally as talented replacements to continue Connecticut's advancement. If you are a motivated teacher who wants to make a real difference, use your experience and knowledge of real life within the walls of elementary and secondary education and earn an advanced degree. Become a more powerful Connecticut teacher or step up and become an administrator with a Master's degree, a Doctorate in Education or earn your Administrative Credentials.
